The Tale of the Sun and the Moon

The sun was in his bathing suit,
the moon in her pajamas.
They played all day
until the two
were called in by their mamas.

The sun went home and climbed in bed,
his mama sang a tune,
and soon the sun
was fast asleep
and dreaming of the moon.

The moon decided not to go;
instead she stayed outside.
She danced and played
and laughed and sang
and stayed awake all night.

When morning came the sun arose
and went outside to play,
but could not find
his friend the moon,
who slept inside all day.

So now these two are best of friends,
disjoined by dark and light.
The sun turns in
at evenfall --
the moon disports at night.

The shining moon sees no sunlight,
the sun sees no moonbeams,
but when they each
are fast asleep
they're in each other's dreams.
 

I`ve Got a Secret!

I've got a secret! Oh, I've got a secret!
But I made a promise I wouldn't repeat it.
I've got a secret! Yes, I've got a secret!
But I took an oath and I vowed I would keep it.

Nothing and no one can make me reveal
this wonderful secret I swore I'd conceal.
No form of torture can make me disclose,
this secret I promised I wouldn't expose.

From now until doomsday my secret I'll keep;
I won't breathe a whisper or utter a peep.
Unless you assure me that you'll keep it too --
then maybe, just maybe, I'll share it with you.
 

How Did You Get So Mean?

I saw you steal second base.
I saw you kill some time.
I saw you shoot some basketballs.
I saw you turn on a dime.

I saw you cut some corners.
I saw you stab in the dark.
I even saw you punch the clock
and take a swing at the park.

I saw you beat a dozen eggs.
I saw you strike a match.
I saw you hit a hole-in-one.
I saw you slam the hatch.

I saw you kick the habit.
I saw you crown the queen.
I even saw you break the news.
How did you get so mean?
 

Super Secret Agent

I'm a super secret agent.
I'm an undercover spy.
I'm the world's best detective.
I'm the perfect private eye.
I'm a Pinkerton, a gumshoe,
I'm a snoop and I'm a sleuth.
I'm unrivaled at detecting
and uncovering the truth.

I've got eyesight like an eagle.
I've got hearing like a bat.
I can out-smell any bloodhound.
I'm as stealthy as a cat.

I can locate nearly anything
with elementary ease.
But no matter how I search and search
I still can't find my keys!
 
 

Words of Wisedumb"
(From the mouth of Kids)

TIRED is the wage of hard work.
And those who enjoy the wage, ...shall not experience failure.

"Early to bread and early to rise,
makes wealthy Baker; cakes, loaves, and pies"

"I worried I was going blind,
until I discovered my glasses were dirty"

"If you want something done right,
do something else instead"

"Things will look rosier tomorrow,
when your memory deteriorates"

"Time flies, whether you're having fun or not,
so you may as well have fun !"

"You can't possibly do everything tomorrow.
Some things Must be put off until today"

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water . . .
"Who do they think they're kidding ??"

"Todays problems will seem smaller tomorrow,
when you'll have bigger problems"

"Oh, what curvy seeds we unintentionally sow, on the road of life."

"Keep an open mind, a tight lip, and a clenched fist,
but strike out only as a last resort, and only in that order."

"Good Luck and Hard Work are Brothers."

"Be Good and be Careful,
the more Good, the less need for Careful."

"Radiate sunshine, and it will reflect back to you."

"Our Earthly Life is the preliminary, NOT the Main Event."

"May God shine His Light on your darkest days,
and may you have the insight to recognize The Source."
